Typically, a grievance will have no more than one one (1) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in attendance, unless the presence of a second ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is part of the training process for the second ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, in addition to a staff representative, but there shall be no more than two (2) stewards in attendance at all times. In addition, at all correctional facilities, there shall be a primary and an alternate ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ designated by the Union on all primary shifts who will be responsible for non-grievance activities related to the administration of this Agreement and coordinating the activities of other stewards, to ensure the efficient use of release time. Whenever possible, the Union will notify the appropriate agency personnel director in writing of the names of the designated stewards prior to them assuming any duties. The Employer shall not deny a State employee the right to represent another employee simply because his/her name does not appear on a stewards list. Designated stewards shall be allowed a reasonable amount of duty time without charge to pay or leave to administer the Agreement and otherwise represent employees in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Law (Title 3, State Personnel and Pensions Article), law or regulation. To the extent necessary to participate in hearings and meetings, a designated ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ shift shall be adjusted so that such participation shall be on official duty time. Release from duty and shift adjustments will not be unreasonably denied and will be consistent with the operational needs of the Employer.
